[Brian]

always nice to see Dunn hit bombs that don't make me want to bang my head against a wall.

[Brian]

screw the wbc haters, this has been a really really fun baseball game

[Fro]

Vottowned! 1 run game

 

Both games today have been fantastic

USA USA USA USA USA

[BCVM22]

Nearly Putzed that one away.

 

U-S-A.

 

Geo is DHing and hitting 7th for Puerto Rico in the game that starts on ESPN momentarily.

[Brian]

so glad to have Dunn out of the division, so much easier to like him now

[UMFan83]

Why is Soto DHing and hitting 7th after Pudge? It must be a respect issue because Geo is clearly the better player at this point.

I was wondering that myself.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

no

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I've got spring-training eye. Every fly ball looks crushed.

[UMFan83]

Well no slow start for Delgado this year it looks like.

[UMFan83]

C'mon Geo

[BCVM22]

Good eye Geo.

[UMFan83]

Geo walks after starting the AB 0-2

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Rodriguez steals second while Soto is up.

 

Soto starts on 0-2 count, works it to full with a couple foul-offs, takes a good walk.

[Careless]

ugly.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Okay, maybe batting I-Rod where they did wasn't so bad...

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Soto double.

[Cubswin11]

Pudge putting on a show, wouldn't be surprised if he signs with a team after this showing. Geo with a sharp single up the middle that's a double, single, BB and RBI for him today.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Puerto Rico pulling away, threatening to 10-run it.

 

Soto just had another single, 2-for-3 with a double and a walk.

 

Ivan Rodriguez is 4-for-4 with two home runs and a double.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Soto almost walks off by 10-run rule, but it dies at the track.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Italy with two singles in the first off of Silva, but no runs.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Italian right-fielder makes an excellent running/diving catch in right-center to save an RBI double.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Italy just misses leading off the second with a HR, instead gets a double off the CF wall.
